AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EUREKA CA
232 PM PST FRI DEC 20 2013

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAK FRONT WILL BRING THE THREAT OF LIGHT RAIN TO
PARTS OF NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA FROM THIS EVENING INTO EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE WEST
COAST LATE THIS WEEKEND AND WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
THIS SHOULD BRING DRY CONDITIONS WITH NEAR SEASONAL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.DISCUSSION...AFTERNOON SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS SOME HIGH CLOUDS
MOVING SOUTH LONG THE OREGON COAST AND TOWARD THE REDWOOD COAST.
THESE CLOUDS ARE REFLECTING A PORTION OF A WEAK WARM FRONT WHICH
WILL CROSS INTO OUR AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. THIS
FRONT IS WEAK AND DOES NOT HAVE MUCH MOISTURE TO WORK WITH. EXPECT
VERY LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES TO OVERSPREAD DEL NORTE COUNTY
LATE THIS AFTERNOON, SLOWLY MOVING TO THE SOUTH THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. THE GREATEST THREAT OF SHOWERS WILL BE TONIGHT. THOUGH,
RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE MINIMAL, MAYBE 0.1 INCHES ACROSS DEL NORTE
COUNTY QUICKLY DROPPING OFF TO LITTLE (IF ANYTHING) ACROSS HUMBOLDT
AND TRINITY COUNTIES. RAIN CHANCES WILL DIMINISH EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING AS A RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE WEST COAST. THIS RIDGE
IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH NEXT WEEK. WITH FAIRLY STRONG
HIGH PRESSURE EXPECTED TO INFLUENCE THE REGION OVER THE NEXT WEEK OR
SO PLEASANT WINTER WEATHER IS EXPECTED. HOWEVER WITH VERY LITTLE TO
NO RAINFALL IS ANTICIPATED OVER THE 7-10 DAYS...THE ABNORMALLY DRY
WINTER CONTINUES.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS MAY LAST FOR ANOTHER 6 HOURS AT KCEC BUT
AFTER THAT POINT INCREASING ONSHORE FLOW WITH A WARM FRONT PASSING
BY WILL RESULT IN LOWERING CIGS AND DRIZZLE. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH IN
CIGS BELOW 2000 FT AND EXPECT IFR CONDITIONS BY MORNING AT KCEC AND
KACV. MODEL GUIDANCE SEEMS MAYBE TOO OPTIMISTIC AND WOULD NOT RULE
OUT A PERIOD OF LOW IFR CIGS OVERNIGHT. VSBYS MAY DROP TO NEAR 1SM
BY MORNING AS WELL. CONDITIONS SHOULD GRADUALLY IMPROVE LATE MORNING
SATURDAY. FURTHER INLAND LOW VFR AND LOCALLY MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS
WILL BE POSSIBLE BUT VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PERSIST OVER MENDOCINO
COUNTY AND EASTERN TRINITY COUNTY. WINDS WILL BE RELATIVELY LIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...LOCALLY WIND-DRIVEN SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO SUBSIDE THROUGH
SATURDAY AS WINDS RELAX. CONDITIONS HAVE IMPROVED ENOUGH SO THERE IS
NO NEED FOR SMALL CRAFTS OR GALE WARNINGS FOR ALL BUT THE SOUTHERN
OUTER WATERS. NORTHERLY WINDS WILL STAY ELEVATED THERE...AND
ACTUALLY INCREASE LATER SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. MEANWHILE A LONG
PERIOD SWELL GENERATED FROM A PACIFIC STORM WILL ARRIVE OVERNIGHT AT
1 TO 2 FT AT 22 SECONDS. THIS SWELL WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD TO 4 TO 7
FEET OVER THE WEEKEND WHILE THE PERIOD GRADUALLY DECREASES. IN
CONJUNCTION WITH LOCALLY GENERATED WAVES, OVERALL SEA STATE WILL
REACH 10 TO 12 FT BEFORE SUBSIDING ON MONDAY. A SECOND PACIFIC STORM
PROPAGATING TOWARDS ALASKA WILL GENERATE ANOTHER LONG PERIOD SWELL
ANTICIPATED TO ARRIVE CHRISTMAS DAY. IT LOOKS LIKE FOR BOTH SWELL
TRAINS, THERE WILL BE TOO MUCH SHORT PERIOD ENERGY TO RESULT IN A
HIGH RISK SNEAKER WAVE EVENT, HOWEVER, SET BEHAVIOR AND SHOALING
HAZARDS WILL STILL EXIST. WILL COVER THIS THREAT WITH MARINE WEATHER
STATEMENTS. AAD
